Linda’s comment:  Isn’t it wonderful when the conventional docs find that Nutrition and proper diet is directly connected to the growth and function of children!!??  Some of you would like to scold them and say “I told you so” but I’m just excited that they are “finally” getting it!!  Just as the children of the Autism Spectrum parents have found that diet/nutrition is everything.  They also know that reducing the total body of pathogens and toxins can make all the difference in their children’s learning, sleep, and growth.  Reducing those heavy metals can help ALL, including adults.  Do your research folks and you can find the answers you are looking for.

web site. Clinical guidelines are intended to assist physicians in
patient care by clearly communicating the results of the guideline
committees’ evaluation of available therapeutic options. However,
the processes by which individual guidelines are constructed may be
less clear, leading to disagreements between the issuing committee
and the physicians who treat patients-physicians who may well be
as experienced and knowledgeable as the guideline committee. Continued
